Everything which uses OpenSSL. So: Lynx. No Konqueror or Bloatzilla.

No idea.

http://mirbsd.mirsolutions.de/cvs.cgi/~checkout~/src/etc/ssl.certs.shar?rev=1.1;content-type=application%2Fx-shar;cvsroot=miros
is what "we" use. It's a shell archive.

For OpenSSL-based applications, you put these files with
their hash, a full stop and a sequence number (always 0
unless you've got two with the same hash) into /etc/ssl/certs/
or whatever your OS vendor compiles into libcrypto.
